i dont understand why these threads are created anymore. choose your site (if you want to be choosy about it) and STFU.

quit starting drama, it is getting REALLY old

^LOL it because it is like the Twilight Saga... you have team edward and team jacob.

Seriously though, I really don't get why people get banned for stupid shit. Really a person should be banned if a) they are being a complete troll or b) they are scamming/ripping people off. I guess that was why I didn't last long as a moderator, because I didn't feed into all the childish bullshit of he said/she said.

Seriously, if your forum sucks that bad and you are worried about losing members to another forum, you might want to *change* said forum.

To a certain point Thadd. You need to realize there is a difference in censorship and advertising. I just didn't think it was right to ban people for putting some letters/number together. But if you are warned multiple times to stop but you decided to continue... you knew the consequences from your actions so don't get all pissy when you get banned (my comment is not pointed towards Thadd).

But I don't believe in banning people just because you don't like them.

Hell, I said 3sgto in public more than once on 3si... the difference is I didn't use it as an attack or recruitment tool. I will never understand AF stance with 3sgto/Alan because well I'm not making anything or losing anything from 3si or 3sgto. But I guess if I owned Wal-Mart, I wouldn't want people inside my store advertising for Target.

but what if you were "warned multiple times" about "putting certain letters and numbers together"? who really gives a crap if "you were warned" if the principle behind why a person was banned---is corrupt from the get-go?

i'm not arguing from a "legal or illegal" perspective. this is a "constitutional vs. unconstitutional" issue for me. an individual should not be held responsible for breaking an unconstitutional law.

Last I checked, 3si is a privately owned forum and can make whatever rules it wants. You can voice whatever you want in public places, but if you come to my house with that bullshit I'm calling the cops or somebody is getting shot (depends on threat level).

If you believe it is unconstitutional, then start a protest in public where AF can't stop you.

I don't think AF's policies would have been viewed as that bad overall, EXCEPT for the mods who delighted in being heavy handed about enforcement and had personal vendettas. A level headed mod staff would have gone a long way towards keeping the peace (and keeping long time members.) My main gripe with AF is that even after multiple people told them just who their new moderators were, they declined to listen to the membership and put those idiots in charge anyway.

AF owns a couple other forums I'm on and to be honest, there isn't that much drama.
